Awesome, Greg! I have a border collie mix who amuses herself greatly by sneaking up behind me when I am engrossed in something, usually gardening, and jabbing me behind my knee with her nose. I've ended up yanking off baby rosettes and different seedlings and things jumping into the air when she does that lol from this point on any little semps will be allowed to root how they please.

Heat wave days are baaack! ugh! Take care there on your side Paul!

Paul those semps in the green containers would get about 2 hours morning sun, then gets shaded by our house, then another batch of heat by 1-2 pm, then the shade of the trees.

I got another semp over the weekend, the tag says Sempervivum Sir William Lawrence, I think I will just delay repot till temps go down much later in the season.

Beautiful pot of semps tarev. Good thinking on waiting until fall cool down comes for repotting.

Hoping nothing bolts as the heat wave goes on.

You too, Tarev! Stay cool. It feels like opening the dryer when I open the door to go outside, and even things in the shade feel warm to the touch. Yuck. Glad that the temperature always drops into the 70s or so most evenings in the summer here.

Nice semps! I am debating whether to repot some of my Commander Hay and Sunset or wait, their pots are so full that they are literally hanging over the edges and it is hard to know if they even get a drink when I water them! Waiting for the temp to drop a bit more, I only water mine once it's in the mid 80s or lower. Don't want to steam cook anyone!

I delay repotting when it is summer already and temps at its peak. Oh yes, I am so thankful when I wake up and see our temps are in the 60's, a real welcome reprieve for all the plants.

We are in a cool down again, but not as cool like before, anything below 100F is acceptable at this point. Next week ugh...all I can see are triple digits

Keep safe tarev.

Thanks Lynn...the summer season is dreadful for the alpine succulents.

I just feel so bad for what is happening in California right now.

I do too, Lynn. it's always sad to hear another fire has started and it can be worrisome. We get them virtually every year, and this drought of ours doesn't help either. I've had ash fall on my house in years past and at times we can get so much smoke that the entire sky is red and everything is hazy. One year the mountains all around us were on fire, at night it looked like we were surrounded by volcanoes.

On a happier note, when I checked today, one of my semps that was mauled by that ground squirrel has started growing new offsets (hooray!) and in the middle of a heat wave, no less. I also think I might have one of my Canada Kate stumps beginning to grow back as well! It has the tiniest hint of green showing fingers crossed!

Good news on the rebirth of your semps Paul.

Love that happy news Paul! I love revivals too!

Great Paul

Taking advantage of our cool down, woohoo! Finally been able to repot my Semp Sir William Lawrence:

Tarev, it is looking wonderful. You definitely know how to grow them in your climate.

Looks good Tarev!!

Thanks Lyn and Greg...sadly though there is another container of semps that got toast

Well, I still have some containers..will see how it goes. Thankful for a very nice temp cool down, breezy and cool, feels like Spring with no rain.

These plants really aren't meant to be in warm weather... It is like me trying to grow some tender plants in my area they do okay but not thriving like when in warmer temps

It is starting to rain here. Hope it is enough to make the plants happy.
Glad you are getting a cool down tarev.

I miss rain! It actually smells smoky outside, brought by the winds, there might be some grassfire nearby.
